Entry Description: University landscapes are being reinvented. Once defined
by the mediative calm of the cloister, they are now
seeking new ways to engage in the life of the city.
The design for Monash University’s Caulfield Campus
encourages staff, students and visitors to revel in the
dynamism of university culture. Its promenades, lawns,
terraces and active field encourage people in many ways
to study, socialise, recreate or be nourished.
The design builds upon the distinctively intimate feel of
the campus to encourage a ‘fertile ground’ for the
exchange of ideas, socialisation, imagination, reflection
and reverie; a setting for the cultivation of the mind and
body.
